Wine ideas for St. Valentine’s Day 2024

Best Italian wines for celebrating this amazing date in Ireland – with A Taste of Italy!

As St. Valentine’s Day approaches, love fills the air in Italy – and in Ireland, and when it comes to celebrating the amore, a fine bottle of Italian wine sets the perfect mood.

Legend has it that St. Valentine, a third-century Roman saint, defied Emperor Claudius II’s ban on marriage for young men, secretly officiating weddings for couples in love. Today, Italians honor this legacy with gestures of affection, from handwritten love letters to intimate dinners shared by candlelight.

This 2024, on St. Valentine’s Day, elevate your celebration with A Taste of Italy‘s curated selection of exquisite wines:

– San Biagio Barolo: from the picturesque hills of Piedmont in northern Italy, San Biagio Barolo is often referred to as the “King of Wines” for its rich flavors of cherry, truffle, and rose petals. Its elegant tannins and long, lingering finish make it an ideal companion for a cozy evening with your beloved one. This 100% Nebbiolo grape is one of a kind!

– Marco Carpineti Kius Rosè Extra Brut: if you are looking for a 100% organic grape wine (100% Nero Buono di Cori), you found it. Straight from Lazio, this Spumante is rich and fruity, with scents of small berries, citrus zest, rose petals, and bread crust. You will love it!

– Ciacci Piccolomini Brunello di Montalcino: crafted from Sangiovese grapes grown in the hills of Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino is a full-bodied red wine with notes of dark fruit, leather, and earth, ideal for a romantic evening on Valentine’s Day.

– Salcheto Chianti Colli Senesi: with fruity flavors, this Salcheto Chianti from Tuscany is a classic choice for pairing with Italian cuisine – that delicious meat-based pasta! – and expressing affection.
